How do the German Online group, German Online individual and German Training Online courses differ?

Unlike on the German Online individual and German Training Online courses, you will not be learning on your own on the German Online Group Course – you will be part of a group with up to 16 fellow coursemates. This will give you the opportunity to get to know, talk to and practise German together with people from all over the world who are also learning the language.

What does the group German online course at level C2 level involve?

During this course, you will work closely with your teacher and the other participants in the C2-level course on current socio-political and culturally relevant topics that are the subject of discussion in Germany. This will deepen your C2 language skills in various subject areas, and help you gain communicative routine.

Your learning journey will involve different authentic text types and media – such as videos, pictures/graphics, podcasts, reading texts, both alone and in groups. You will also work on presentations and longer texts of your own, which you will submit to the learning platform and then receive back corrected and with detailed feedback.

In doing so, you will prepare for the online live sessions in the group, in which you practise discussing more complex contexts and presenting points of view. You will familiarise yourself with the current discourse in Germany and acquire communicative skills at C2 level.

If you have any questions, you can discuss these with the members of your German online learning group via the forum or contact your teacher by e-mail.
